Eyesight Hawaii - Maui

I recently saw Dr. Malecha for a cataract surgery evaluation and was truly impressed with her professionalism and kindness, as well as the friendliness of her entire staff. Having lived on Maui for many years and visited numerous eye doctors, I have never experienced such a welcoming, respectful, and genuinely caring atmosphere.

Tia, the technician, was outstanding—professional, patience and very reassuring. She took her time with a detailed 30-minute exam that included retina, pupil, cornea, and glaucoma testing. I can honestly say she’s the best ophthalmology technician I’ve ever encountered!

Dr. Malecha was on time, warm, and compassionate. She explained the cataract surgery process thoroughly, using clear pictorial diagrams that made everything easy to understand. Her calm, patient manner instantly put me at ease.

I’m absolutely thrilled to have found an ophthalmologist who is not only highly skilled but also truly cares about her patients. I left the office feeling informed, confident, and cared for.

Do you accept VSP insurance?

Competent courteous care. Beautiful new offices. Coming from another practitioner, they reviewed my complicated case with clarity and were able to recommend a course of action which gave me confidence.

This Dr. and staff are amazing! I was living fear of having injured my vision or worse an aneurism. I’m a teacher and was so scared … they scheduled me on a Saturday morning and they were all so kind. The Dr. took her time and was able to answer all my questions. She is a true gift to Maui! Mahalo to all of you for lowering my blood pressure and helping me be at peace! So grateful for you all!.

Thank you Dr Olkoski for diagnosing my retinal detachment and rushing me to surgery in Oahu within 3 hours to save my eyesight. Another Doctor misdiagnosed that the issue was only a “ floater” and I could have lost my vision in that eye if I had not seen you and got a second opinion.
I also am thankful for the successful cataract surgery , glaucoma maintenance, and excellent service , professionalism and expertise and great staff that you’ve provided me since 2014 . I highly recommend.

Cataract surgery on both eyes. Dr Malecha performs little miracles! So happy with the results! Her office’s assistant, Eric, is such a wonderful young man. All very pleasant, great experience.

There is a song lyric that really captures my experience with Cataract surgery "Ican see clearly now!"
I have a Senegal Parrot and now I see how radiant Green are his feathers.
The surgery was no problem and recovery was easy. Any time delaying Cataract surgery is time wasted.

I was seeing Dr Malecha for worsening double vision. I have a bad eye disorder coming on, it's urgent. She tried a prism in my glasses. It made it far worse. Never heard back from her, as my condition got worse. (later I would figure out that the prism worked well on the other eye. Had she checked in with me, we could have figured that out) Finally after several calls got her to respond to an email, she said I have a "wrinkle" on my retina. I asked her some followup questions, never heard back. So now I will fly to Honolulu to get the care I need because it's not happening here. Edit: I flew to Honolulu, got great care and a proper diagnosis. I have strabismus. Dr Malecha completely missed it, although it is completely obvious.

I had my cataract surgery yesterday on 6/14/24. Today it is like I woke up in a whole new world. Everything is brighter and more colorful than yesterday. I only had my left eye done because this is what I thought was the eye having the most problem, even though Dr. Melecha told me I had cataracts in both eyes. It seems that my vision in my left eye was so bad that it made it seem as though it was the only eye that was bad. So, this morning I had my post op appointment and scheduled my other eye for surgery as soon as possible.
Dr. Melecha is a true artist when it comes to doing the surgery. Her and the team at Aloha Surgical center made me so welcome and comfortable that I didn't even remember the surgery being performed. I felt no pain and my nervousness was greatly reduced with the wonderful outpatient care I received. I will be seeing you soon Dr. Melecha for my second cataract surgery at the end of July.

Great patient care and kindness. I called and spoke to Tracy and she got me on the schedule quickly. Eyesight Hawaii Dr Monika Malrcha was extremely knowledgeable and explained "why" I was having eye issues. She discussed and educated me on the diagnosis clearly and said it wasn't anything serious yet. Praying it doesn't progress. Office is easy to find and staff are patient and helpful. They also keep you informed as to what they were doing by the tests they performed. This is my new eye doctor and feel blessed and full of gratitude. Thanks to my 5th grade friend Debbie. If you need an excellent eye doctor, this is the place to go!!
